Yemen: A Travel Survival Kit

In this age of easy transport and mass tourism the Yemen is one of the few places left that can offer a genuinely foreign experience. This is one of the oldest inhabited regions in the world. Thousands of years ago it saw a succession of mighty kingdoms. Later, a millennium of isolation preserved the world's first skyscrapers and the unique architecture which can be seen today in many towns in the Yemen.
This book explores both the relatively open North Yemen (the Yemen Arab Republic) and the less visited and more reclusive South Yemen (the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen). It tells you how to get the most out of your trip, how to come to know the pride and friendliness of the Yemeni people and how to get by without expensive guided tours.
